On October 18, 2023, SOLIA 1 

Hydroelectric LLC., filed an application 

for a preliminary permit, pursuant to

of hydropower project located to be 

located at the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers’ (Corps) A.I. Selden Lock and 

Dam near the City of Eutaw, Greene 

County, Alabama. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 

the permit holder priority to file a 

license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed A.I. Selden 

Hydroelectric Project would consist of 

the following: (1) a headrace channel 

and intake structure with four, 31-footwide, 39-foot-high trash racks with 8.3- 

inch bar spacing; (2) a 93-foot-long, 158- 

foot-wide, 83-foot-high concrete 

powerhouse located on the south west 

bank of the river at the existing Corps 

dam’s right abutment containing four 

Kaplan bulb turbine-generator units 

with a total capacity of 22.4 megawatts; 

(3) four, 70-foot-long, 198-foot-wide, 73- 

foot-high draft tubes that would convey 

water from the turbines to the tailrace; 

(4) a 495-foot-long, 495-foot-wide riprap 

lined tailrace; (5) a 100-foot-long, 100- 

foot-wide switchyard; and (6) a 2.2- 

mile-long, 115 kilovolt transmission 

line. The proposed project would have 

an estimated annual generation of 145.5 

megawatt-hours.
